The above represents the best information available to the Department and is included for the convenience of the bidder. The days required for conflict resolution should be considered in the bid as this information has also been factored into the timeline identified for the project when setting the completion date. The applicable portions of the Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction shall apply.

Estimated duration of time provided above for the first conflicts identified will begin on the date of the executed contract regardless of the status of the utility relocations. The responsible agencies will be working toward resolving subsequent conflicts in conjunction with contractor activities in the number of days noted.

Section 25-00375-00-RS City of Aurora, Kane County

The estimated relocation duration must be part of the progress schedule submitted by the contractor. A utility kickoff meeting will be scheduled between the Department, the Department’s contractor, and the utility companies when necessary.

The contractor is responsible for contacting JULIE (or DIGGER within the City of Chicago) prior to any excavation work. Please note that IDOT electrical facilities are not part of the one-call locating services, such as JULIE or DIGGER.

If the contract requires the services of an electrical contractor, it is the contractor’s responsibility, at their own expense, to locate existing IDOT electrical facilities before commencing work. For contracts that do not require an electrical contractor, the contractor may request one free locate of IDOT electrical facilities by contacting the Department’s Electrical Maintenance Contractor.

Additional locate requests will be at the contractor’s expense.

The Department’s Electrical Maintenance Contractor must be notified at least 72 hours in advance of the work by calling 773-287-7600 or emailing dispatch@meade100.com to arrange for the locating of underground electrical facilities.

Please note, the marking of underground facilities does not absolve the contractor of their responsibility to repair or replace any facilities damaged during construction at their expense.

DOWNTOWN WORK – SIDEWALKS, NOTIFICATION, COORDINATION, AND INTERIM

COMPLETION

For this project, “downtown” and “downtown area” shall refer to all roadways within the project limits between Lake St (IL 31) and the BNSF railroad bridges. This specification only applies to work within that downtown area.

Sidewalks

The downtown area is host to numerous regular and special events throughout the year. Within the downtown area, any sidewalk work must be scheduled such that sidewalks are fully open to pedestrian traffic by Friday at 3:00 PM. This may require special care in timing removals and concrete work. There may be instances where there are no downtown events happening and the rule can be relaxed but will be on a case-by-case basis and will require written approval from the Engineer.

Any slurry from sawcutting operations must be fully cleaned by the end of each work day.

Before any removal begins for the week, the Contractor shall provide the City with the planned removal limits for the week for discussion.

Notification

The Contractor shall contact the City of Aurora, Police Department non-emergency number prior to closing any streets to through traffic, installing temporary no parking signage, or any work that may impede the flow of traffic through the downtown area.

Section 25-00375-00-RS City of Aurora, Kane County

If requested by the City, the Contractor shall deliver a notice to each address that will be affected by work to be performed on each downtown street. The notice shall be a 2-sided document on a form supplied by the City. Notices shall be distributed 7 to 14 days in advance of the start of work.

Notices will be required for all sidewalk work located in the downtown area, unless otherwise specified by the City.

Coordination

Work in the downtown area will overlap with a City-led permit project (Permit 045-92304) to convert New York St and Galena Blvd to 2-way operation. This includes ADA ramp/curb work at the intersections of Galena/Stolp, Galena/Broadway, and New York/Broadway with some additional signal work and minor sidewalk work at Galena/Lake and New York/Lake.

The Contractor shall coordinate with the Contractor on the permit project. The projects may require extensive cooperation, and it is understood that the Contractor for this resurfacing project may have to adjust their schedule for work in the downtown area to facilitate this work.

Interim Completion

The Contractor may not begin any work in the downtown area until June 14, 2027.

The Contractor must have all work in the downtown area significantly completed by August 24, 2027. No open pavement or open holes will be permitted after this date. Pavement marking, landscaping, and other similar work may be complete after this date, but must be completed on a Monday or Tuesday.

This specification is not intended to limit any work activities outside the downtown area as described above. The completion for the entire project is subject to Working Days.

COOPERATION WITH OTHER CONTRACTORS

There are several other projects occurring within the limits or adjacent to this project. The Contractor shall coordinate work activities with the contractors of these other projects. At no time shall any surface course be placed in an area that will be disturbed by another project’s work without express written approval from the Engineer. Currently known projects are listed below; this list is not exhaustive, and this provision applies to any other work occurring within the project limits:

In fixing the damages as set out herein, the desire is to establish a mode of calculation for the work since the Department’s actual loss, in the event of delay, cannot be predetermined, would be difficult of ascertainment, and a matter of argument and unprofitable litigation. This said mode is an equitable rule for measurement of the Department’s actual loss and fairly takes into account the loss of the tree(s ) if the watering or plant care is delayed. The Department shall not be required to provide any actual loss in order to recover these liquidated damages provided herein, as said damages are very difficult to ascertain. Furthermore, no provision of this clause shall be construed as a penalty, as such is not the intention of the parties.

A calendar day is every day shown on the calendar and starts at 12:00 midnight and ends at the following 12:00 midnight, twenty-four hours later.
